national health system that was going to be something like what the british were doing at that time in the uk. which was instituting national health. of course, the republicans opposed it, just as they opposed medicare, lyndon johnson did it in '65 with some republican support but that was the rise of ronald reagan as telling us if we had medicare, we would end up as the soviet union. this has been an overarching theme and clinton knew that. begala and carville knew that too. this is a bedrock issue between the two parties. it remains so. so whatever the differences that clinton and obama have had over the last several years, they're trivial compared to the agreement about this fundamental concern. i think you're right about that. >> and, richard, i guess the big difference between the '90s and today, besides the fact they didn't get it through in the '90s, by having it rejected or fail in the 1990s, the issue went away after 1994. bill clinton wasn't pursuing it anymore. you know the obama world very well. has it surprised them that since the three and a half years that it made it through co

you start looking at it, and there's france, there's the uk, there's it turkey, saudi arabia. but you look at some of these other countries, not just russia for this, china is not for this, brazil is not for this. so you start looking at these other countries and they're not going to see -- the president is going to see that the world is as skeptical about this as the folks he's dealing with back in congress. >> chuck, it's katty here in washington. when you and i went to the briefing on saturday at the white house, it was quite clear that they don't see this as a humanitarian intervention. they're not talking about the moral case for helping the syrian people and all of the syrians who have been affected. this is specifically about chemical weapons. is that an argument perhaps that the world will listen to? even if they think that it's been presented fuzzily? isn't there a case to be made we cannot allow countries to use chemical weapons? >> well, you would -- i think what they're struggling with and admit is a struggle is the rhetoric about chemical weapons from john kerry,
